....so I'm takin' the left bag off. I take the fasteners off and put them in my pocket but for some reason forgot to hold on to the bag..CRUNCH..on the pavement. What a dumbass move! Deep nicks on lid and a couple on the bottom. Took the bag immediately to my bud at the body shop he says maybe $550 to paint the bag. Go to the Harley dealer they come out with some stuff and try to work their magic....little better but no go. Soooo I'm gonna buy me a new lid pre-painted for about $215 and live with the rest. Should be able to make me a real pretty coaster or somethin'....
Then later was loading some stuff for my trip this weekend in my tourpak in the dark, with a flashlight and dropped it, put a mark on the right bag, but luckily it came out with some quick detailer.....I know I know but I ain't usually this big a bonehead....man what a day....I hope the trip goes better.

For OP - sux to drop a hardbag...definitely sinking feeling, but it's fixable. Maybe time to look into stretched bags for a different look (opportunity)?
